I dont like this phone that much. Compared to the Env3, this thing is so hard to text on. The keys are slick and slippery. This phone is slow and cant keep up with me texting. A good thing though is that this phone is built really solidly. It cant take a lot of damage. The hinge isnt fragile like you would probably think. Dont buy this just because the keys change. Oooh yay the keys change! How cool! It gets old really fast. I miss my old chocolate2 which i think was a better phone.

Pros

Big screen, not fragile, good call quality.

Cons

Slow, hard to text on.

 this is a good pick for a phone. though people say the battery life is low, big deal; just charge it while you are sleeping at night.
the buttons make texting simple though it sometimes delays switching which keys show.
all my friends have been amazed a how the keys switch.
the text is quite easy to read and the camera is acceptable.
Also when on the phone, hearing the other end is very easy.
i find the outside of the phone a little useless though.

overall, a great phone

Pros

sleek
good camera
sound
graphics
speed
texting on keys

Cons

switching from landscape to portrait for screen and keys delayed
outside of phone

Worst phone I've ever had with VZW

I HATE HATE HATE this phone! I haven't had any problems with battery life, but I have had plenty of other issues...

Going through pictures and phone restarts, also restarts at other random times

Switching from portrait to landscape, phone stays in previous designation

While typing, skips keystrokes (almost every other sometimes!

When missed call & VM, if “View missed call” selected, phone calls VM b/c VM call option then comes up

Slow response time in general

Doesn’t read all pics on card, and puts them in total random order

I've had the phone replaced once since June for these issues, and VZW said they could replace it again with the same device since I'm still having the same issues. I feel like I got royally screwed, because the VZW sales agent at the store talked me into this phone, and said it has no issues at all. I'm still trying to see what I can do to get them to fess up to their BS mistake and give me a better device of equal value, or let me pay the promotional difference for a different phone

Pros

The idea behind the phone is fantastic. I text A LOT, and the battery usually lasts at least 2 or 3 days

Cons

functionality. basically everything OTHER THAN battery life
